It was engraved by Mario when he finished in ninth place (P9) Moto2 at the 2025 American Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Austin, Texas, United States, on Sunday, March 30, 2025 local time or Monday Indonesian time.

This is the best finish Mario has ever made in his career. He surpassed his own record when he finished 12th in the same place in the Moto3 class in the 2023 season.

"Mario Aji P9. Our Indonesian racers achieved their best in the MotoGP middle class," wrote Honda Team Asia via their official Instagram.

In the latest race at the COTA, the racer from Madiun, East Java, started from the 12th position and managed to appear impressively above the wet track to secure seven points.

Mario Aji is 33,466 seconds adrift of Jake Dixon who won the race and outperformed Colin Veijer who won his first point of the season in 10th place for Red Bull.

Ini kali kedua Mario mengamankan poin pada musim ini. Dia sebelumnya membawa pulang satu poin dalam balapan seri pembukaan di Sirkuit Internasional Chang, Buriram, Thailand.

Mario sekarang duduk di posisi ke-17 klasemen sementara pembalap dengan koleksi 8 poin. Adapun Dixon masih memuncaki klasemen dengan koleksi 59 poin diikuti Aron Canet (46 poin) di tempat kedua dan Manuel Gonzalez (45 poin) di posisi ketiga.

The next race will take place at the Losail International Circuit, Qatar. The fourth series will be held from Friday, April 11, 2025, to Sunday, April 13, 2025.
